Linus Omark's Debut: Pictures from Warm-Ups.

So the second I found out Linus Omark was on his way up to Edmonton for his NHL debut, I went and bought tickets for the game versus the Lightning. For some odd reason I've had the guy as a friend on Facebook for the last 3 years (since he got drafted), and he hasn't bothered to delete me. I wanted to get his attention, so I took this sign:

During warmups, I moved down to right behind the glass, and flashed the sign around while the Oilers were skating around. Some of the players read it (Penner, Peckham, Jones, Cogliano, Gagner, etc) and were laughing and having a good time with it. When Omark finally came around, he looked at the sign, and instantly began to smirk. I was so stoked. After weeks of obnoxious congratulating and posting on his wall, I'm sure he'd taken notice at the random brown guy all over his profile. Here are some other pictures from the night:

The other 91. They say he's pretty good.

That it's for pictures from that night. But man oh man was it an epic win. A solid 2-point night from Paajarvi, and some power-play dangles and shootout Godliness from Omark.
